Dave Timmins first joined Blackpool as Goalkeeper Coach in July 2016, having previously occupied the same position at Port Vale.

During his 20 years of coaching he's been renowned for aiding in the development of goalkeepers such as England international Joe Hart (at Shrewsbury) and Wales international Wayne Hennessey (at Wolves).

Timmins, who has also worked for Tranmere Rovers, briefly left Bloomfield Road for a managerial role in Sweden in February 2018, though opted to return to the club some three months later.
